Stadthafen und St. Marien von der neuen Mole, im PiP links St. Georgen Waren ging im 13. Jh aus einer viel älteren slawischen Siedlung hervor, die erstmals 150 n.Chr. von Ptolemäus erwähnt wurde. Die Stadt liegt an der Müritz, dem mit 117km² größten ganz in Deutschland gelegenen See und ist das Tor zum Müritz-Nationalpark. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waren_(M%C3%BCritz) Waren originated in the 13th century from a much older Slavic settlement (first mentioned in 150 A.D. by Ptolemy). The town lies on the shores of Lake Müritz, at 117 km² the largest lake entirely within Germany, and is the gate to Müritz National Park. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waren_(M%C3%BCritz)

Wienpietsch Lakes are two small lakes in a kettle-hole mire in Müritz National Park. The landscape was formed by ice age glaciers. Deutsch: www.pension-fledermaus.de/ienpietschseen

Flöttergraben was built as a drainage ditch in the 19th century. With the creation of Müritz National Park the outflows were blocked to let the landscape revert to its original state of moor and bog. In May the water was covered with pollen from the alders growing around it. www.mueritz-nationalpark.de/cms2/MNP_prod/MNP/en/Homepage/index.jsp Flöttergraben war einer der Entwässungsgräben im Bereich Specker See/ Binnenmüritz, die verschlossen wurden, um die ursprüngliche Landschaft wiederherzustellen. Hier war das Wasser komplett mit Pollen (hauptsächlich Schwarzerle) bedeckt. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCritz-Nationalpark

Wienpietsch lakes are two moor lakes in Müritz National Park which are completely surrounded by forest (mainly birch, alder, pine and some beech). They can only be reached on foot or by bike, a boardwalk leads round the southern lake. In summer grass snakes can often be seen lying in the sun (see inset photo).

Feisnecksee is a typical glacial tunnel valley lake. It lies on the southwestern outskirts of the town of Waren and is only separated from the much larger Müritz lake by a 150m wide land bridge. The southern reaches of Feisneck are part of Müritz National Park. www.mueritz-nationalpark.de/cms2/MNP_prod/MNP/de/Startseite/index.jsp

Photo taken from Jabel village looking towards Damerow. Jabelscher See is one of the smaller lakes in the Mecklenburg lake district and is situated about 10 km from Waren/ Müritz between Kölpinsee and Fleesensee. The lakes were created when the glaciers retreated after the last (Weichselian) ice age.
